A few years back I took 2 of my grandchildren to Oceans of Fun and Worlds of Fun (an exhausting double header). On the Worlds of Fun side there were all kinds of unbelievable rides. One was a donut shaped object onto which people were attached. This human cargo contraption was fitted with a hugh spire that ran through the donut hole. The human cargo was hauled up to the top of the spire (which was so high it hurt my neck to look to the top) and then released. Kallie (about 13 then) and GW (about 7 then) stood in line. Kallie excitedly waited her turn on the death defying ride while GW waited, quietly. They both watched the spectacle as others dropped toward the ground like a lead brick . Before they reached the point of no return GW turned around and sat with me on a small wall away from the line. I enquired, "Honey, aren't you going with your sister? "He gave me an incredulous look and said, "Look at that thing! Do I look stupid to you?"
